SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD…..

Things are not always what they seem to be…When asked to a group of students in a class, what were the SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD…..There were many answers like, Egypts great Pyramid, Taj Mahal, Panama Canal, Empire State Building, St. Peters Basilica, Grand Canyon, Great wall of China……

But one wrote….TO SEE, TO HEAR, TO TOUCH, TO TASTE, TO FEEL, TO LAUGH, AND TO LOVE…….

So true…As had written in the first ‘The things that we desire in life are expensive, but the truth is that the things that really satisfy us are absolutely free…. Love, joy, laughter and friends….’ Most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or brought by us……

Why do we waste our life complaining….when we have got so much…..If we get half glass water, some Thank God, for getting it, others are sad, because the glass is half empty….. What is God is NOWHERE? Some read God is No where, others read God is Now here…..

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" " It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh yeah," said the son. "So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them." The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are." Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.


When something is bothering us…..We need to say with humbleness: THANK YOU LORD, FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS, THAT YOU GIVE ME. FOR MY HEALTH, FOR MY FAMILY, FOR MY WORK, FOR MY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND FOR EVERYTHING….THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT I HAVE IN THIS BRIEF LIFE….

It depends on how we use it. With 57 cents, a ministerial church was built in Philadelphia. Some feel even 57 million insufficient to live…Each of the seven wonders we need to use with caution….

Just move around a day with eyes closed, or without using your ears, its too difficult, virtually impossible, but then there are people living that way…

Tongue weighs next to nothing, but very few people are able to hold it, and it cuts even the heart…… Do not speak unless asked to….

Tears can sometimes be more special than smiles…Smiles can be given to anyone but tears are only shed for people we don’t want to lose. But it's more dangerous to weep inwardly rather than outwardly. Outward tears can be wiped away while secret tears scar forever...There are various ways of expressing our feelings…

There is a proverb which says… ‘Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.’ How did he remember the man when he is in trouble again….He was always in his mind…..What you do not intend to remember, it may be carved in your mind, which cannot be erased, Some friends, you may never meet, never talk to or see…but they continue to remain the best friends…How is it…Amazing….That what is called ‘Soul gadi’…

Love: So much can be written on this, Loving is not how you forget but how you forgive, not how you listen but how you understand, not what you see but how you feel, and not how you let go but how you hold on.

Somehow, along the course of life, you learn about yourself and realize that there should never be regrets, only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you've made.

Thought for the day: There is so much of good in the worst of us, and so much of bad in the best of us, that it ill behoves all of us, to find fault with the rest of us.
